Rohit Sharma Test retirement: Shubman Gill, Jasprit Bumrah top contenders for India’s new captain in red-ball cricket | Mint TechTricks365


The retirement of Rohit Sharma from red-ball cricket on Wednesday meant that BCCI will be looking for a new face as the Indian captain ahead of their tour of England next month. The 38-year-old made the announcement on Instagram in the middle of Indian Premier League. 

Rohit’s retirement came after his poor run with the bat in the Test series against Bangladesh, New Zealand and Australia. His last Test for India came in Melbourne during the fourth game in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy last year. 

With the BCCI understood to be planning for long term, Shubman Gill and Jasprit Bumrah have become the frontrunners to become the new Indian Test captain going forward. It is also learnt that the Indian management is keen to groom a younger captain under the guidance of Gautam Gambhir.
